Sweet and Spicy at The Fort

WARMUP:
Peach Stand started us off with the warmup of SSH, Imperial Walkers, and possibly a few others gone from memory.

THE THANG 1:
PeachStand instructed Pax to pick a rock from the piles behind the amphitheater (and to choose wisely).
The “thang” was a ladder to “9”, starting with 8 Mike Tysons right behind the amphitheater, and 1 bomb jack at the entrance of the parking lot (up the hill). The mode of transportation running (or walking briskly) with our coupon held straight over our heads. Harry Carry did more running than anyone (perhaps even more than the rest of us combined).

THE THANG 2:
YHC took over and educated the Pax on the rules of a Webb-o-rama. 4 cones set up along path in front of the amphitheater. On each cone were 2 exercises to be done in Jack Webb style (1:4 ratio)
Cone 1- 1 6-count Burpee : 4 SSH
– >> Bear crawl to next station
Cone 2 – 1 Big boy sit up : 4 American Hammers
– partner wheelbarrow to next station
Cone 3 – 1 Knee tar N’Diaye : 4 Squats
– partner wheelbarrow to next station
Cone 4 – Traditional Jack Webb –
– >> Run Around parking lot, up the hill to the entrance, then back to first station
Instead of doing all 10 reps at once, we broke it up into 3 rounds.
Round 1: 1-5
Round 2: 6-8
Round 3: 10 (skipped 9 since we ran out of time).

Great work done by all men. Thanks for the chance to lead, JWOW.

Counting Down from 100

WARMUP:
Quick COP warm-up with Imperial Walkers, Seal Jacks, and Hill Billy Walkers.

THE THANG:
Mosey down to oval loop in front of Springfield Middle. Near school entrance we started with a 100 reps of an exercise. We then ran (together) down to the lower part of the loop. For a portion of the run, pax had to do a moving exercise, determined by one pax drawing from a bucket ‘o pain. At the lower part of the loop, we then did 90 reps of a different exercise. Once all pax were done, we ran back to the top part in front of the school entrance (scaling a small wall that was part of the loop).
We repeated, counting down to 10 exercises. Here was the list.

100 Flutters
90 Squats
80 Shoulder Taps
70 Hello Dollys
60 SSH
55 LBCs
50 Merkins
40 Speed Skaters
30 Lunges
20 Burpees
10 Big Boy Sit-ups

We ended up skipping the lunges due to time, but we added some Bombjacks at the end, thanks to some nudging from BandCamp.

YHC had the opportunity to share my testimony and try to encourage all pax that each person’s testimony is their own uniquely, God-created, story…including the testimonies being lived out by our kids.

The mumble chatter was fantastic, as we learned perhaps a bit too much about CakeBoss’ impending first “official” colonoscopy. Thanks RainMaker for the opportunity to lead.

MARY: My late Mom’s name. Miss you mom!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: We did a LOT of good in the D2D fundraising!! Alot going on. Read your newsletter and get involved!!
COT:
I mentioned how my mom recently passing has put me in a big funk, like I am in PTSD mode, but just posting and being out with the PAX has helped my mental state immensely, and even more the PAX who have reached out to me. As Slapshot said at Minnow Pond, it can be a huge uplift to others. Twister mentioned about the effects that F3 can have. We do alot of good out in the community, but being out and about with the PAX is like a cure-all tonic. He EH’s guys as often as he can because this F3 tonic is what alot of us guys need, whether we know it, or want to admit it, or not. I really loved that analogy! F3 means alot of different things to each of us, but it is still a great thing for all of us, helps lift us up in various ways, but we need to be out there with the PAX regularly to get our regular dose of that tonic to make our lives a little better. Cobra Kai mentioned he recently had coffee with a Kotter, someone who was a hard charger, did alot when he was posting, not afraid of the hard workouts. He is carrying some burdens and is suffering, the mental side of things. Goes to show that even the toughest facade can be a cover up for what is really inside. The coffee meeting seemed to be a good thing for him. Cobra Kai gave him some of that tonic, whether he knew it or not. So I implore you to keep EHing, keep giving it away. Don’t ever stop. You just may be the one person that helps someone through their rough patches or worse. Be the tonic!

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
Blessings and SYITG,
